Ah, verry awesome summer salad! Almost all the greens are from my own garden, so proud! One of the many things I really love about summer - my wonderful garden! It has all different kinds of lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, chili, onion, fresh herbs.. Just amazing! (: This salad was so great! The combo with fresh strawberries, crabfish and soy was verry delicious, definitely going to make that one again. The colors are simply gorgeous too, so bright and vibrant! For veggies, I just used what I had, but feel free to use whatever you like. Also, crayfish is a great source of protein and doesn't contain any fat at all.Today, my vacation finally started, it just feels so amazing, i've waited too long for this day to come! (:

It's finally weekend, so why not celebrate it with this lovely bowl of wonderful, tasty and healthy raspberry oatmeal?! Just looking at that dark pink gorgeous color makes me happy, and the taste was even better (: The weather today is so good here in Denmark, the sun is shining and the sky is blue, so i think i'm going to take a good long run after posting this. Nothing better to kickstart the day, it leaves me with so much good energy and positivity. Tonight i'm planning a trip to the cinema with some of my best buddies, really looking forward to get some time with my girls, I miss them alot! We really haven't seen much to eachother during the exams, to busy studying. I'm so glad that it's over verry soon! I wish you all a wonderful, happy and healthy weekend - Much love! (:

Ingredients

1 serving

The oatmeal

0,5 cup of rolled oats

1 cup of raspberries (I used frozen)

1 cup of water or milk

Vanilla extract

Sweetener (Stevia, honey etc.)

The topping

A couple of raspberries

A handful of mixed nuts

Start by heating up the berries in the microwave, until the consistency is nice and smooth (about 1 minute). Now, mix the rest of the oatmeal ingredients into it, and put it in the microwave again for about 2-3 minutes, until the consistency is the way you like it. At last, top it with a bit of raspeberries and nuts. There you go - ready to be enjoyed!

I really love experimenting with my oatmeal at the moment, and this must be one of my favorites! I really love coconut, and toghether with the sweet banana it really brings out all the amazing flavours! It actually reminds me of the beach, verry exotic and yummy (: Coconut is also super healthy for you. It's verry rich on lauric acid, which is known for being verry antibacterial and antifungal. It also contains zero trans fatty acids, which is pretty amazing! I put half of the banana in the porridge, and use the other half as topping. If you want to, you can add some extra sweetener such as honey or stevia. I cook my porridge in the microwave, super easy and just as good! Cook it for about 2-3 minutes.

Ingredients1 serving0,5 cup of oats1 cup of water (you can also use milk)2 Tbsp of desiccated coconut1 banana (half in the porride half for topping)Flaxseeds, cherries and a bit of coconut for toppingOptional: sweetener such as honey or stevia

Aaahh, This is my all time favorite drink, perfect for these cold, rainy days! Chai is originaly an indian tea made with milk and lots of gorgeous indian spices. It's just so creamy, yummy, aromatic and healthy! I always make my chai on non fat milk and stevia, but of couse you can use whatever sweetener you want. I'll bet it would be great with honey too, yum yum! for the milk foam, I whip a bit of milk in a bowl, and when its all fluffy an voluminous, it's done! For the chai, I just throws all the ingredients into a pod and then bring it to a boil. Then I remove the spices, and there you have it! Super easy and super delicious!

Good morning! Just wanted to share this amazing breakfast with you guys. Actually, it's the first time i'm trying the famous chocolate oats, and i am not disappointed! It was so chocolaty, creamy and yet still verry healthy. Cocoa is actully a fruit, and a verry healthy one! It's packed with antioxidants and flavonoids, which helps prevent cancer, diabetes and heartdiseases. Plus, it's high on fibers and protein, not bad! I will definitely be making those again! I didn't add any sweetener, i just used the sweetness from the banana, which worked just fine. Yum yum, I can still taste the creamy dreamy chocolate in my mouth, love it! (:

Yum yum yum! This was so great! In the breakfast smoothie i have raspberries, banana, salad leaves, milk and limejuice. I almost always add some kind of veggie to my smoothies, it really makes them so much more healthier, and you really can't taste it. In this one i used a verry light green sort of salad (can't remember the name), so it didn't ruin the pretty pink color (: But you can use any greens you want: Kale, spinach, carrots etc. Especially kale is incredibly healthy, so go ahead!

The watermelon shake was sooo great to! When i was in Thailand last year, we drank these everyday while lying at the pool. So delicious, healthy and refreshing! Perfect on hot summer days. The only ingredients are watermelon and ice cubes. Just throw it all into a food processor for a minute or two, and there you have it!

Dipping the apples in PB also tasted amazing! It's really easy to make homemade peanutbutter, and it really tastes even better than the ones you buy! Just put some peanuts and a bit of oil into a food processor, and there you have it!

Yogurt is one of my favorite things for breakfast, it really fills me up for a long time, and then it tastes soo good. (:

This was so good! while the rain was falling down outside my window, i enjoyed this amazing snack between lunch and dinner. I simply love Chai latte!

I used 200 g. of non-fat milk, 100 g. of water, 1 tsp of black tea, 4 cm of cinnamon, 4 cardamom pods, 8 whole gloves, 4 peppercorns, 1 anise and 1 cm of fresh ginger. I also added some stevia, but you can use the sweetener you like the most (: I just put all the ingredients into a pot, and when it boils, its ready! Remove the spices, and there you have it! I also love the combination of peanutbutter and fruit, soo yummy and healthy. But, be sure to use a whole natural peanutbutter, one without added sugar!

(: The whole meal gave me about 350 kcals, which is just perfect for a good, balanced breakfast to kickstart my day.

LUNCHWholeweat bread with peanutbutter/banana and ham/veggies and a salad

This was what i got for lunch today. Verry easy to make, verry healthy and of course: Verry tasty (: Peanutbutter and banana is a great combination and compliments each other so well! But, be careful with the peanutbutter, especially if you are trying to lose weight. It contains a lot of calories, but mostly from the good and healthy fat. The salad is made of half an apple, a handful of spinach and some slices of cucumber. For seasoning i used dried basil, salt and pepper. Verry delicious!

UHMMMM! This was so tasty! Can't believe that it is also extremely healthy - win win (; i just chopped up half an apple, 1 pear, 1 peach and half a banana, and mixed it with 50 g. of frozen blueberries. Then i mixed some cottage cheese with these lovely vanilla seeds, but you can use extract, it's just as good. I also added some non-fat yoghurt to the mixture for extra creamyness. at last, i decorated the dish with a little mint leaf - so pretty! And then - ready to enjoy! This portion really filled me up thanks to all the awesome fibers from the fruits and the protein from the cottage cheese and yoghurt. Perfect as a snack, but also as a healthy dessert (:

Good morning guys! (: Today i started out my day perfectly with the amaaaaazing omelette - omg sooo delicious!! I used what we just happened to have in the kitchen, and it really turned out great.

This recipe is filled with protein, which will keep you full throughout the day, i'll promise that!

Yep, thats right. Chocolate, and i loove it! This was a verry delicious snack that i had between lunch and dinner. The chocolate is as dark as it gets, and it gives it some amazing health benefits! You shouldn't think so, but it actually contains lots of healthy fibers, a ton of the healthy fats, antioxidants and flavonoids. It lowers the blood pressure, prevents heart disease and even slows down the aging process! The dark chocolate is also REALLY filling, and keaps me full for a verry long time, try it out! But remember, it needs to be the dark ones, at least 70%, and not too much! With this verry intense dark chocolate, i had a cracker with banana slices. The flavours complimented each other perfectly, and i felt really satisfied (: It really killed my horrible sugar cravings!

Hey lovelies (: For lunch today i had this amaazing, tasty and healthy tuna salad, a real protein bomb! For veggies i used what we just happened to have: Carrrot, spinach, tomatoes, cucumber and onion. For herbs i used dried basil, chili powder, paprika, salt and pepper. Then i just added 1 can of tuna (in water) and about 100 g. of cottage cheese: And voila! A super quick and healthy lunch is ready to be enjoyed! (:
